Potential long-term memory of transposable element (TE) upregulation. (A) Expression of TE subfamilies in 8-cell (8C) embryos developed from normal mouse zygote injected with tsRNA derived from sperm of high-fat-diet (HFD) male. (B) Expression of TE subfamilies in adult islet developed from normal mouse zygote injected with tsRNA derived from sperm of HFD male. (C) Expression of LTR elements in 8C embryos developed from normal mouse zygote injected with tsRNA derived from sperm of HFD male. (D) Expression of LTR elements in adult islet developed from normal mouse zygote injected with tsRNA derived from sperm of HFD male. (E) Scheme of the process from obtaining tsRNA injected zygote to examining TE expression in 8C embryos and adult islet.
